I do a lot of pen-and-paper role-playing. If you think that means I dress up all kinky… then no, get your mind out of the gutter and read this first. Normally, I meet up with friends, we sit around a table and play. With a pandemic on, this has become an interesting challenge.

I’ve been playing D&D for a long time, both as a player and as a Dungeon Master. I’ve found that creating a character that works well is harder than you might think.

I started gamemastering a Shadowrun campaign about a month back. I’ve always been a fan of the universe and I love the video games. I do have some gripes with the tabletop system, though.
